Epstein's UK flights had alleged British abuse victims on board, BBC finds

AI Summary

long article 7 min

A BBC investigation revealed that Jeffrey Epstein took nearly 90 flights to and from the UK between the early 1990s and 2018, significantly more than previously known. Flight logs and documents show that some of these flights included British women who allege they were abused by Epstein. Three British women who were allegedly trafficked appear in Epstein's records of flights in and out of the UK. US lawyers representing Epstein's victims are calling for a full-scale UK investigation into his activities, stating the UK was a "centerpiece" of his operations. One British victim, whose testimony helped convict Ghislaine Maxwell, was listed on over 10 Epstein-funded flights in and out of the UK but has never been contacted by UK police. The BBC investigation examined publicly available documents, including flight logs, to piece together Epstein's activities in the UK.
